Responsibility Of Youth
The young people of today are most definite in their
demand's for "the rights of youth." They know what they
want and they are giib in expressing- their desires. Tney
are terribly sure of what is right and wrong, and they go
most thoroughly and analytically into everything — except
their own obligations to society.
Youth, to,o, has a responsibility in this life. The young-
people may grouse about the mistakes and shortcomings
of their elders — but are they seizing every opportunity
tq gain the knowledge that would fit them to do more than
their elders? Are they better equipped for the task of
making a new world out of devastation than were their
fathers? Their opportunities for education have been great-
ex* and therefore, their responsibility is greater.
The strain on the coming generation will be intense.
Those who take up citizenship in this transition period wih
require initiative, resourcefulness, adaptability and idealism. They must have the ability to produce something foi
the good of all, for there will be no room for parasites.
Youth has before it NOW the task of preparing fo;
the days ahead, and it must prepare by learning how to
think things out and think things through. It will need-
initiative in order to plan constructively. It will need re
sourcefulness which must be gained by practical experience.
It will need adaptability, which means an ability to cooperate with its fellows.
Most of all it will need idealism — but it must be r,
constructive idealism. Youth could well take for its creed
today the Oath of Citizenship which the Youth of Athen.
took upon arriving at their majority.
"To bring no disgrace to this city by a dishonest act:
to fight for the ideals and sacred things alone and with.
many; to dissert no,faltering.comrade;'.to revere and. obey
the city laws; to incite respect and reverence in those- above
us ■ who 3U'e prone to annul or set them at naught. To
strive unceasingly to quicken the' public' sense' of ' civic
duty. To* transmit this .city no less, but more beautiful
than it was transmitted to us."
If the Youth of today' would do this, there would be
no need to fear the future. . . .
Ike To Latin America?
It may be too broad a generalization to say that the
tide of ill feeling toward the United States is rising in
Latin America. There is no doubt at all that anti-Americanism is on the rise fri "Cuba,'howevfei. 'arid' there are
indications that this ill will is .spreading .to other countries
south of our borders.
Secretary of State Herter' expressed the administration's deep concern over. this, state .of affairs at his news
conference. That concern is well founded, and perhaps it
was no accident that Herter spoke of it even • while the
President was having a. great. success as this, nation's
emissary of good will in India. For though it is important
for us to win the warm friendship of peoples in distant
parts of the world, it is equally important that we not
alienate those who share', ur'own-hemisphere.
On the very day that Herter made his remarks, Cuba's
new economic czar asked business firms — including, notably, a number of U.S. firms — to train rebel officers
"so they will be able to direct any business enterprise."
This is regarded, with good reason, as a threat to business
that it had better toe the line. There is even some reason
to fear that the Cuban government may be planning to
take over private business. No action could have more
sharply underscored Herter's misgivings.
Herter also said at that time that the President has
very much in mind the possibility of a Latin American
visit. It would be foolish to suppose that such a visit would
solve that region's manifold problems. But in view of Mr
Eisenhower's successes on his recent journey, a visit to
Latin America might be a wise step. Our neighbors to the
south would welcome assurance that we are as deeply concerned with their problems as with those of the rest of the
world.

Petition Proposal to People
At a meeting of the newly-fanned Citizens Committee
for Charter Form of Government held Tuesday night at
Village Hall petitions on the charter proposal were distributed.
These petitions, to be signed by 10 per cent or more
of the electors of North Canton voting in the last election,
will request the local council to pass an ordinance providing for tlie submission to the electors thereof of the question: "Shall a commission be chosen to frame a charter?"
The committee expects to present the petitions, bearing the
required number of elector's signatures, to council at its Feb.
8 meeting.
It is hoped that tho question
may be submitted lo the voters
on the ballot of a special election, May 3.
Meanwhile, tlie Stark County
Board of Elections, once council
has passed the necessary ordinance following the commands
of the petitions, will establish a
deadline for filing for the charter commission candidates.
Any registered voter may run
for the 15-mem'ber commission.
This commission would then
draft a practicable, desirable
charter lo be presented to the
electors in the November general election.
The new Citizens Committee
for Charter Form of Government was formed Thursday,
fan. 1-1, immediately following
the formal dismissal of the Mayor's Study Committee, after said
committee had presented its final report.
At this meeting, the 43-mem-
ber Mayor's Committee unanimously recommended a charter
form of government to the Mayor and Council of North Canton.
Serving as temporary chairman of the first charter committee meeting was Harold Duryee,
James E. Ritchie, who had
introduced the final form of t-he
Mayor's group's report, was
elected chairman.
Chosen to serve with him were
Mrs. Peter O. Rodemeyer, secretary; and Paul A. Permar Jr.,
treasurer.
The purpose of the committee
is three-fold:
1. Circulate the petitions to put
the charter question on the ballot.
2. Encourage candidates to run
for the charter commission.
3. Form a speaker's bureau
which would provide speakers
for area civic and social groups.
The officers of the committee
were named as agents for the
petitioners.
Mr. Ritchie, an attorney, moved to North Canton 8 years ago
from Louisville. He 'began his
law (practice in 1951 following his
graduation from Mount Union
College in Alliance and Western
Reserve University in Cleveland.

Hoover Plastics Employe
Has $300 Suggestion
A Hoover employe, Richard
Berry, received $300 in reward
for his suggestion for obtaining
a uniform flow of the plastic
powder used in molding parts.
The Working Supervisor in the
Plastics Department proposed
that a change be made in the
ceramic pre-heafer cups used on
automatic presses for molding
thero-setting plastic powder.
The new cup will fill nearer
to the top and reduce piling up
of powder as it falls from the
hopper.
It allows an • even distribution
of heat from the pre-heaters
and reduces rejects due to
shrinks, cracks and distortion
during the molding operation.

At a meeting of the newly-fanned Citizens Committee
for Charter Form of Government held Tuesday night at
Village Hall petitions on the charter proposal were distributed.
These petitions, to be signed by 10 per cent or more
of the electors of North Canton voting in the last election,
will request the local council to pass an ordinance providing for tlie submission to the electors thereof of the question: "Shall a commission be chosen to frame a charter?"
The committee expects to present the petitions, bearing the
required number of elector's signatures, to council at its Feb.
8 meeting.
It is hoped that tho question
may be submitted lo the voters
on the ballot of a special election, May 3.
Meanwhile, tlie Stark County
Board of Elections, once council
has passed the necessary ordinance following the commands
of the petitions, will establish a
deadline for filing for the charter commission candidates.
Any registered voter may run
for the 15-mem'ber commission.
This commission would then
draft a practicable, desirable
charter lo be presented to the
electors in the November general election.

ber Mayor's Committee unanimously recommended a charter
form of government to the Mayor and Council of North Canton.

introduced the final form of t-he
Mayor's group's report, was

which would provide speakers
for area civic and social groups.

Hoover Plastics Employe
Has $300 Suggestion
A Hoover employe, Richard
Berry, received $300 in reward
for his suggestion for obtaining
a uniform flow of the plastic
powder used in molding parts.
The Working Supervisor in the
Plastics Department proposed
that a change be made in the
ceramic pre-heafer cups used on
automatic presses for molding
thero-setting plastic powder.
The new cup will fill nearer
to the top and reduce piling up
of powder as it falls from the
hopper.
It allows an • even distribution
of heat from the pre-heaters
and reduces rejects due to
shrinks, cracks and distortion
during the molding operation.
